Mr. Brightside is a song performed by The Killers. The song is featured on the group's debut album Hot Fuss. The song was written by lead vocalist Brandon Flowers, and guitarist Dave Keuning. The song structure itself is rather unusual for a pop song, discarding the standard verse-chorus-bridge style for a da capo al coda structure.

Video
Three music videos have been made for "Mr. Brightside" - the first being just a simple black and white video of The Killers performing the song intertwined with shots of a woman. The second, a Moulin Rouge!-inspired video, filmed in the setting of a turn-of-the-century bordello, was directed by Sophie Muller and starred Eric Roberts and Izabella Miko. The third was made in cooperation with MTV2 and NCSoft using graphics from NCSoft's MMORPG Lineage 2. It originally aired in MTV2's "Video Mods" segment and is now being used by NCSoft to promote Lineage 2. This third video also sees consistent airplay in both MTV Europe and MTV Asia.

Lyrics
Coming out of my cage
And I've been doin' just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
And I just can't look
It's killing me
And taking control
Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside
I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doin' just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
'Cause I just can't look
It's killing me
And taking control
Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside
I never
I never
I never
I never
